Study Notes
Chemistry Basics
-
Types of Compounds:
- Mineral acids: contain H in their formula. Examples: HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃
- Alkalines: contain OH in their formula. Examples: NaOH, Ca(OH)₂, Al(OH)₃
- Oxides: contain O in their formula. Examples: Na₂O, K₂O, CO
- Salts: Contain either H or OH or O only; Includes normal salts and oxygenated salts. Example: NaCl, KNO₃,Li₂SO₄
-
Exercises:
- Identify the type of compound (acid, alkaline, oxide, or salt) for given examples.
- Determine if a given compound is a salt.
-
Physical States:
- (s) = Solid
- (l) = Liquid
- (g) = Gas
- (aq) = Aqueous Solution
Chemical Structure of Water
- Formation of Water: Water is composed of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms (2:1 ratio).
- Mass Percentages: Oxygen accounts for 88.89% and hydrogen for 11.11% by mass in water.
- Bond Angle: The angle between the two covalent bonds in water is approximately 104.5°.
-
Chemical Properties:
- Water is not pure, it contains ions and other chemical substances
- Water is polar; the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges.
-
Consequences of Polarity: Water's polarity enables it to:
- Form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules.
- Dissolve many salts and break them down to hydrated ions.
- Example: NaCl + H₂O → Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq) (Sodium chloride dissolving in water)
Give Reason for High Boiling Point of Pure Water
- Water has a high boiling point (100°C) because of hydrogen bonding between its molecules. This requires more energy to break apart than in similar compounds.
Acid-Base Balance in Water
- The acid-base balance depends on the relationship between the concentration of hydrogen (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions.
- The pH scale measures this balance.
- pH values of different water sources (e.g., clouds, rivers, distilled water, groundwater, and seawater) vary depending on dissolving salts and other constituents.
Different Spheres on Earth
- Earth's surface is 70% covered with water.
- Water exists on Earth as: oceans, seas, salt lakes, rivers, lakes, groundwater, and water vapor (the atmosphere).
- Other parts of the Earth include the cryosphere (frozen water), and various aquatic ecosystems (Nile river, Red Sea, etc.)
Water Cycle in Nature
-
Water exists on Earth as: liquids, solids, and gas
-
Water is constantly moving from one place to another in the water cycle
-
The cycle includes processes such as evaporation, rainfall, and the accumulation of water in bodies of water.
-
Processes include transpiration (from plants), infiltration, runoff, and groundwater flow.
-
Water solubility: Like dissolves like-- water dissolves other polar or ionic compounds.
